That's right - you can WATCH this game LIVE on the BBC. File that under things you love to see.
The coverage starts at 18:00 BST, and you watch it on BBC Two, BBC iPlayer and using the big play icon at the top of this page, once it starts.
As usual there is TMS commentary on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra, BBC Sounds and this page too. We'll also have our usual in-play clips.
